VoIP Now: My 7 Fave VoIP/ WoIP Blogs + Bloggers of 2006

My 7 Fave VoIP/ WoIP Blogs + Bloggers of 2006

Why so few? That's not to say I don't enjoy other blogs and bloggers. My freelancing means it's a necessity that I subscribe to 1,000 web feeds, and regularly scan 60-100+ websites and weblogs relating to voice, VoIP, IPTV, and IP communications on a near-daily basis - except when I fall horribly behind posting like I have the last two weeks. I can't actually more than scan everything, but there are a few bloggers that I'm eager to read as much as possible.

In no particular order:

Nuno Bastei@21Talks.
Nuno blows me away with how many original (but sadly short) posts he does, on a wide variety of topics relating to voice. Where he finds all these cool stories I'll never know.
Ward Mundy@NerdVittles.
Ward has tons of great tutorials and utilities, with most of his focus on the Asterisk PBX. Great for other up and coming VoIP nerds who want to utilize the power of the open source Asterisk.
Luca Filigheddu@ThoughtsOnVoIP.
Luca's writing about VoIP and IP communications really comes across as very thoughtful and refreshing. It really is like participating in a sort of meditation. (Though Luca, sorry but the new blog colors - meh, not so much. Not as meditative.)
Peter Csathy@DigitalMediaUpdate.
Peter challenges you to think, and does he ever know his stuff regarding video VoIP and the incredible value of this functionality. This is a man focussed on one specific niche of IP Comm, and he does it very well.
Russell Shaw@IPTelephony.
I agree with Russell about 60-70% of the time when he goes political on us, but I love reading his extremely informative IP communications posts and topic variety, and respect the research and effort he puts into his articles. Sorry Russell; I refuse to read Huffington Post, so I can't read your blog column there, but I love your IP Telephony.
Om Malik@GigaOm. Om's the man! He breaks a lot of the hottest stories that set the rest of the blogosphere buzzing. And he's got a great crew. It's not all VoIP/ IP Comm, but there's enough, and GigaOm covers the spectrum well.
Phil+Jim@SkypeJournal. SJ gets my vote for my fave VoIP blog, even if it's only about Skype. There are other bloggers, but Phil Wolff and Jim Courtney seem most prominent lately.

So don't be offended if you're not on this VoIP blog/ blogger list, because I'm still reading you almost everyday, the best I can. With the exception of Om Malik, Phil, and Jim, I've picked singular bloggers, not blogs with multiple bloggers. (But Om did singular blogging before his VC deal.) These are the bloggers that I feel I know the best, and I'm getting to know the others over time.
